SPECTRUM OF GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOURS PRESENTATION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO E-GIST AND ASSOCIATION WITH NF-1: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY AT A TERTIARY REFERRAL CENTRE IN EASTERN INDIA

Abstract

To study various modes of presentation of GISTs at a tertiary level referral centre in Eastern India. A retrospective, single institution study was carried out on 48 patients with a histological diagnosis of GIST, who underwent treatment in Department of Surgery, Medical College, Kolkata, during the period 2010-2013. Of the 48 cases studied, 26 were males and 22 were females. The age of patients ranged from 24 to 60 years, mean age being 44.04 years. Eight patients presented with acute small bowel obstruction and one with recurrent subacute small bowel obstruction, 9 with vague abdominal pain, 14 with abdominal lump, 12 with upper GI bleed, 2 with gastric outlet obstruction and 1 with urinary symptoms. The commonest location of lesion was stomach (45.8%) followed by small gut, colon, retroperitoneum, omentum and urinary bladder. Most (91.7%) lesions were unifocal. All patients underwent surgical resection of tumours. Histologically, 42 were of spindle cell type whereas 6 were epithelioid type. Thirteen patients received imatinib therapy post operatively. Though rarity in incidence and diversity in presentation, GISTs should always be kept in mind while dealing with an abdominal tumour even if extraintestinal. A high index of suspicion is necessary for correct diagnosis and treatment of GISTs.
